bash has a feature: it restores termios after a successful wait for
a foreground job which had at least one stopped or sigkilled member.
The probable rationale is that SIGSTOP and SIGKILL can preclude task from
properly restoring tty state. Should we do this too?
A reproducer: ^Z an interactive python:
$ python
Python 2.7.12 (...)
>>> ^Z
{ python leaves tty in -icanon -echo state. We do survive that... }
[1]+ Stopped python
{ ...however, next program (python no.2) does not survive it well: }
$ python
Python 2.7.12 (...)
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
{ above, I typed "qwerty<CR>", but -echo state is still in effect }
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'qwerty' is not defined
The implementation is modeled on bash code and seems to work.
However, I'm not sure we should do this. For one: what if I'd fg
the stopped python instead? It'll be confused by "restored" tty state.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap01.html Shell & Utilities It says that any of the standard utilities may be implemented as a regular shell built-in. It gives a list of utilities which are usually implemented that way (and some of them can only be implemented as built-ins, like "alias"): alias bg cd command false fc fg getopts jobs kill newgrp pwd read true umask unalias wait http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html Shell Command Language It says that shell must implement special built-ins. Special built-ins differ from regular ones by the fact that variable assignments done on special builtin are *PRESERVED*. That is, VAR=VAL special_builtin; echo $VAR should print VAL. (Another distinction is that an error in special built-in should abort the shell, but this is not such a critical difference, and moreover, at least bash's "set" does not follow this rule, which is even codified in autoconf configure logic now...) List of special builtins: . file : [argument...] break [n] continue [n] eval [argument...] exec [command [argument...]] exit [n] export name[=word]... export -p readonly name[=word]... readonly -p return [n] set [-abCefhmnuvx] [-o option] [argument...] set [+abCefhmnuvx] [+o option] [argument...] set -- [argument...] set -o set +o shift [n] times trap n [condition...] trap [action condition...] unset [-fv] name... In practice, no one uses this obscure feature - none of these builtins gives any special reasons to play such dirty tricks. However. This section also says that *function invocation* should act similar to special built-in. That is, variable assignments done on function invocation should be preserved after function invocation. This is significant: it is not unthinkable to want to run a function with some variables set to special values. But because of the above, it does not work: variable will "leak" out of the function.
